Some of the danger on Highway 101 results from the fact that it is the only through-route for most of the Sunshine Coast. There are virtually no detours. So, an emergency vehicle would have trouble getting through, and would be blocked if the bridge over Chapman Creek was out. And for motorists, it doesn’t take much to create what seems like an hours-long backup: an accident, construction or – in this case Oct. 11, the lineup going up the hill from Davis Bay was caused by road work. It’s this kind of scene that has prompted a group called SC101 to petition the provincial government for a bypass route (Page 3). In addition, a motorist who was on the other end of this traffic jam raised the issue in a letter to the editor (Page 4) and candidates for Sechelt council also discussed the issue (Page 6).
